Life and Style Tips From a 100 Year Old Lady

Yesterday's post showed how Ruth stays so fit at 100 years old.Who better than this amazing centenarian to change our perceptions on aging and prove that we can live full lives well into our later years. Check out Ruth's life and style tips below:

100 year old Ruth's Life and Style Tips1."I never go to bed with my makeup on. that is number one.At night you must let your skin breathe."2."I use a lipstick brush to paint on my lipstick--It stays on longer that way. I can also use a lipstick longer than anyone else because I can dig into it."3."Every night before I got to bed I use Elizabeth Arden's 8 hour beauty cream on my lips. You must keep your lips moisturized."4."When it comes to fashion you must be aware of your skin tone. You don't wear orange lipstick with a red dress."

5."I make myself go out everyday, even if its only to walk around the block. The Key to staying young is to keep moving. You are never too old to exercise."

6."Invest in Quality pieces, they never go out of style."

7."Don't look at the calendar, just keep celebrating everyday."8."I dress up everyday and I don't wear blue jeans. I dress up even to mail a letter, you never know who you will meet along the way."9.I have been active my whole life. An old Elizabeth Arden Ad said,"If you want to look like this when you are 40 start when you are 20."10.I wake up every morning and say, "This is the day the lord has made."

Best post yet, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhSo wise and beautiful:."I dress up everyday and I don't wear blue jeans. I dress up even to mail a letter, you never know who you will meet along the way."AMEN!!!xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxIt will be my moto from this minute onwards.

I just discovered your blog and have been sharing it with all of my friends. I love that these ladies are so stylish and full of wisdom. Everyone knows that current fashion always harkens to the past for inspiration and these ladies could definitely teach us a thing or two about timeless personal style. Keep up the great work!

Ruth looks absolutely beautiful in her red dress. I would love to know more about this wonderful woman. I believe she was in some movies in her youth and did some modeling. Could you provide us with some more information about Ruth?

She is a wonderful role model. Her advice is right on...She reminds me of my 88 year old Mother, who dresses up everyday for that exact same reason "You never know who you will see during the day" that is a quote from my Mother.When I read about Ruth, I am struck with the thought, that I have the possibility of 30 year ahead of me...I better get my act together :)

Her posture is incredible...100 years old, my goodness. It must the pilates. And no walker!!! Amazing. Just a cane. Ladies, you know what this means. Exercise has to be your mantra, if you want to live a long, independent life. Yes, you can live to be 100 years old plus. But more than enough are bedridden or in wheelchairs. But to be independent - living alone or nearly so - you must do do more. Pilates is one way, water aerobics (my choice) is another. Always, always knit! Ha ha.

How true is the statement that Ruth made "you are never too old to exercise"! Her positive attitude and love of live continue to inspire me with every post that I read. Ruth is definitely wise beyond her years.
